LESSONS FROM THE HERD: Camping with horses

Camping with the herd is the perfect way to help us become truly grounded as we experience nature over a 24 hour period. Our powers of natural observation sharpens through a growing inner stillness and an increasingly uncluttered mind surrounded by the sights and sounds of nature.

Horses are like magnets for humans. Throughout recorded history people were drawn to them for their beauty, grace, power and mystery of their noble being. It has been clinically documented that just being around horses changes our brain wave patterns, lowering blood pressure and reducing stress. We calm down, becoming more centred and focused in the present moment around horses. We are transformed in a very positive way by their presence. The beneficial effects of positive and appropriate interaction are life enhancing.
